The carb on my old engine gave up, this was actually about the same price as getting a new carb. The mower cuts better than the gas powered version did, thanks to the speeds being up near 3500 rpm instead of hunting around between 1500 and 3000. Much quieter, though it really isn't quiet per se, lots of chain noise. |
